Development Editors will need to use the **//Edit this page//** button or install and use the [[https://asciidoc.org/|asciidoc]] / [[https://antora.org/|antora]] system and github pull requests to edit Plugin Pages. Please refer to [[https://opencpn-manuals.github.io/main/ocpn-dev-manual/dm-manual-maint.html|Maintenance of Manuals and Authoring Plugins]] for information about implementing asciidoc/antora and editing of plugin documentation.

The reasons we have converted the Developer and Plugin Documentation to asciidoc/antora is found in [[https://docs.antora.org/antora/2.3/#manage-docs-as-code|Manage Docs as Code]] and [[https://vimeo.com/509522749|Why AsciiDoc/Antora? Use Overview- Vimeo]]
